Sightseeing
The Dom Tower is the center of Utrecht and is the pride of the city. Next to the fact that it's an awesome historic building (1254 AD) that you must have seen when visiting Utrecht it also provides a stunning view of the city that you should not miss out on. Your stay isn't complete untill you climbed the 465 steps of the Dom Tower. During the week there are three tours per day on weekends twice an hour. Buy your tickets online in advance to prevent disappointment.
